Summary

A brief description of the manhwa A Villain’s Will to Survive:

The intermediate boss of the AAA-game I was developing at work is a villain who’s fated to die 999 times out of 1,000.

That very boss is now me. “I’m fated to die in almost all routes.” Deculein will die no matter what, like a villain should.

[Primary Survival Goal: Become necessary to the game.]

If I am fated to die, then I’ll just twist said fate and survive.

The story was good but now in gutter. A villain is a villain if you’re going to show him as a teacher and ignore everything then what’s the point? Around 40 chapters were great but then it’s all about students and their stupid test. Why stretching it too long? It’s the least interesting and just nothing but fillers to snatch money out of people

It’s pretty good but the story has become predictable somewhat and the updates are inconsistent so I’m out

It is not that bad, at least first 30 something chapters. But of course author had to break it. 2/5 for decent drawings.

My review up to Chapter 47 – 4.5/5**

I think the rating on this website is a bit too high. The story is about a game developer who just went through a breakup after a 7-year relationship. He still hasn’t moved on, even though his ex already has another man. Honestly, she broke up with him because of his own faults, yet he still can’t deal with it properly even after getting isekai’d.

The story itself is enjoyable, though it’s not particularly special. One thing that annoys me is how often the story stops for explanations. Almost every one or two chapters there’s some kind of exposition, whether it’s about the background of a place, a character, or a flashback.

There are also too many POV changes. Because of that, we don’t really get to see the details of what the MC is doing or the process he goes through. Sometimes the next chapter just shows him suddenly solving a problem with only a small explanation of how he did it.

That said, the side characters are actually pretty interesting. They don’t feel like typical 2D mindless characters.

I might pick this up again once it reaches 100+ chapters.

I know this manhwa theme song:

Oh, no, not I

I will survive

Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive

I’ve got all my life to live

I’ve got all my love to give

And I’ll survive

I will survive

:drum:

Like the story not the greatest since plot pretty common, Isekai-ed Villain avoid death flag, at least MC not Goofy characters MC designed calm and collected, And my only complain, I wish no romance, especially

well

related with with his ex-GF, I hope MC just move on, God dammit :no:
